PBEM: Heart of Fire GM needed, and rules discussions

[GeoModder]

I've just discovered their are elections held in a certain PBEM which undoubtedly requires his utmost attention.

:Sigh: I was this close to releasing the game when I came across a glitch. I had the mission year set to 2100 but somehow throughout the editing process, it got changed to 2101. This affects UoP. I seem can't turn the clock back to 2100...

So, Minute Mirage, check your PM asap.

As for last night, sorry - I was occupied with an unexpected guest.

So, Geo, I guess the offer of a free tech is off?

BTW, Jamski, what did u mean by sticky?

[Snowflake]

No hurry Barinthus. We were just being mean.

As for the 2101 glitch, I remember hearing this before. Perhaps you could check with Googlie or other people who's been CMN before. I'm sure you are not alone.

[Barinthus]

Thanks, HongHu. However I am anxious to get this thing going so I can get some input from you folks on the map itself and so on.

I cannot do it also. I am very cautious to keep 2100 year during the whole process of scenario creation. Mostly the following problems may occur:

- Faction bonusses are not loaded. Then all factions need reload, there is an option there.

- Difficulty level is not the same for all factions. Need for all faction set difficulty - an option there, and to be sure in scenario rules "force current difficulty level" should be checked for all factions separately

- Initial Economy-Psych-Labs may be 100-0-0 not 50-0-50. Just correction is needed.

- If any replacing of faction units take place - "cover map" is needed to cover previously uncovered tiles.

- Initial technologies are not triggered, e.g. Gaians do not have their Cent. Eco., just need to do it manually.

- Year should be 2100, in this year only "Hold" orders should be given - no base creation, and passwords should be set. Then players may do their 2101 year, and University can choose its free tech - CMN doesn't need to do it. Really I was never succesful in trying to return to 2100 year from 2101. You probably need to reload some old save...

If I remember any other problem I will write

Mart7x5, appericate your keeping an eye out for me.

- Faction bonusses are not loaded. Then all factions need reload, there is an option there. All are there

- Difficulty level is not the same for all factions. Need for all faction set difficulty - an option there, and to be sure in scenario rules "force current difficulty level" should be checked for all factions separately Should be ok

Initial Economy-Psych-Labs may be 100-0-0 not 50-0-50. Just correction is needed. Yeah I'll have to correct those myself while setting up passwords

If any replacing of faction units take place - "cover map" is needed to cover previously uncovered tiles. Done

Initial technologies are not triggered, e.g. Gaians do not have their Cent. Eco., just need to do it manually. Checked, all are there

Year should be 2100, in this year only "Hold" orders should be given - no base creation, and passwords should be set. Then players may do their 2101 year, and University can choose its free tech - CMN doesn't need to do it. Really I was never succesful in trying to return to 2100 year from 2101. You probably need to reload some old save... Yep that's my problem right now. I don't really want to reload the older version due to tweakings made in between.

Note : use [quote] instead of [i] for quotes

As for that sticky... it seems to have disappeared for some reason

Rule No. 1 of Roleplaying Games states:
Gamemaster is always right

Rule No. 2:
If Gamemaster is not right, see rule no. 1

Jamski, I didn't feel like typing 48 extra letters I would had to if I was to do that quote thing

[Snowflake]

You could try [ q ] and [ /q ]. Not sure if it still works any more though.

[Edit] Looks like it works.

[Barinthus]

Well, folks, everything seems to have checked out.

I don't know about you guys but I'm excited to launch this PBEM!
